Chapter 783 High Gamble
Lin Hong's eyes showed a strange look, but he still smiled faintly, saying: "Adults need to get benefits from the villain, at least they must prove that the villain's life and death are indeed controlled by the adults. Hangzhou is already the world of Anxinghou, and Anxinghou will never hand over the villain to others for Bao Fenglong. Therefore, the villain's life and death should be in the hands of Anxinghou. The villain does not believe that the adults can control the villain's life and death."
"An Xinghou is dead." Qin Xiao did not continue to hide it and said lightly: "You will be escorted to Kyoto soon. When you arrive in Kyoto, the Prime Minister will naturally not let you survive."
Lin Hong finally showed a look of horror and his body was shocked: "Am An Xinghou dead? How is this... possible?"
"If An Xinghou is not dead, do you think I can see you?" Qin Xiao sighed: "You are right. An Xinghou regards you as a money tree. Since you have fallen into his hands, he will certainly not let anyone get involved."
Lin Hong was silent for a moment, with a serious expression. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Can you tell me how An Xinghou died?"
"The assassin is fatal." Qin Xiao said: "Where did the assassin come from? I am currently pursuing it. Since your Lin family is a rebel party, whether the assassin is involved with you, of course I have to come and find out."
Lin Hong sighed and said, "It seems that the villain is coming. An Xinghou is dead, and the Prime Minister is so sad that he will not care about Bao Fenglong, he is going to kill someone."
"So, you will definitely die if you send you to Kyoto." Qin Xiao stared at Lin Hong: "Do you feel that your life and death are in my hands now?"
Lin Hongwei was silent before asking: "Can you stop them from sending the villain to Kyoto?"
"Since I'm here, I naturally have this strength." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Lin Hong stood up and bowed, "Sir, wait." He went straight to the inner room. After a while, he saw Lin Hong coming over with a piece of yellow paper in his hands, walked to Qin Xiao, and sent the yellow paper with both hands. Qin Xiao was a little surprised. He took the yellow paper and took a look. He saw strange symbols on the yellow paper, and there were more than ten characters under the symbols, but they were all numbers like "Sanqi Lu Er". At first glance, it looked like a Taoist priest's ghost painting talisman.
"Baofenglong needs money houses in the eighteen prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them has a general farm." Lin Hong said slowly: "Even in Kyoto, there are general farms in Baofenglong, and these general farms can be found with just a little inquiry."
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean?"
"This is not an ordinary piece of paper." Lin Hong explained: "This is an internal ticket."
"On-ticket?"
"Dry the bank in the money house, and the bank will have bills of exchange. No matter where the bank is deposited in Baofenglong's money house, as long as you hold the bill of exchange, you can exchange the bank in any Baofenglong money house in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This type of bill of exchange is called foreign bills." Lin Hong said: "The internal bills are directly controlled by the villain. Apart from the villain, only the shopkeeper of the 19th General Manager, including the Kyoto General Manager, knows. Take this inner bill and go to the 19th General Manager Manager to find the shopkeeper, and you can receive up to 50,000 taels of silver."
Qin Xiao was really surprised and asked, "In this way, can this small piece of paper receive nearly one million taels of silver?"
"Yes." Lin Hong nodded and said, "Every time the general dealer receives 50,000 taels of silver, the general dealer will mark the internal tickets, and only the manager of the general dealer understands the mark, so it cannot be reused."
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "A small piece of paper is worth one million taels. Are you worried that someone will fake it?"
Lin Hong smiled indifferently and said, "No one can fake it." He spoke calmly, but was extremely confident.
Qin Xiao knew that the ticket numbers would have their own set of codes. Except for the insiders, the outsiders could not see any problems. When using them, the insiders could tell the authenticity of the ticket numbers at a glance.
Lin Hong took a million taels of action. Qin Xiao was calm on his face, but he was really shocked. He thought to himself that the Jiangnan family was indeed rich enough to rival a country.
"If the adults don't believe it, you can try it in Hangzhou." Lin Hong stared at Qin Xiao: "This is a deposit. If the adults can really make the Lin family safe, the Lin family will never be stingy with their benefactors."
Qin Xiao sighed: "If I take this million tael of silver into my pocket, will it be considered a bribe? The Lin family was beaten to be a rebel and accepted bribes from the rebels. I wonder if I can still save my head?"
"Man dies for money, birds die for food." Lin Hong smiled and said, "If you want to gain something, of course you need to take risks."
Qin Xiao handed the ticket back to Lin Hong with some reluctance. Lin Hong was stunned and sighed: "As for this reason, sir, don't you have the courage to take down these silver?"
"You are wrong." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "What I want is not one million taels. This money is simply an unimaginable huge sum of money to ordinary people, but I have a big appetite. This amount of money really cannot keep me from your Lin family."
Lin Hong frowned slightly and asked, "How much does it need by sir?"
Qin Xiao leaned on the chair, gently tapped the handle of the chair with one finger, pondered for a moment before smiling, "How deep is the relationship between the Lin family and the Queen Mother Association?"
"If the villain said that the Lin family did not have direct contact with the Queen Mother, would the adult believe it?" Lin Hong asked back.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't believe it."
"No one will believe it." Lin Hong smiled bitterly, "Does that master know why the Jiangnan family did not hesitate to offend the Xiahou family, but obeyed His Royal Highness the Princess?"
Qin Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Hong.
"The Tang Dynasty established a country and built Lingxiao Pavilion. I invited sixteen founding heroes." Lin Hong said slowly: "Xiahou Pang De, the Hou of Qinghe, was one of the sixteen gods. His ancestral home was in Yizhou and he made great contributions. He was also very prosperous at the beginning of his founding." After a pause, he continued: "The Tang Dynasty was established for two hundred years, and time passed. Although the sixteen gods were still famous, there were few outstanding people among the descendants. My ancestors of the Tang Dynasty had the ambition to expand territory in all dynasties, so there were naturally more and more heroes who invited Lingxiao Pavilion."
Qin Xiao knew a little about the story of Lingxiao Pavilion, but at this time he didn't know why Lin Hong suddenly mentioned it.
"The so-called emperor and ministers of the dynasty. Although the Xiahou family is one of the few sixteen gods who still serve as high-ranking officials in the court, their reputation and strength are no longer comparable to those at the beginning of the founding of the country." Lin Hong sighed softly: "On the contrary, many families have made great contributions to the country and their status in the court has increased day by day, including the Zhao family of the Duke of Chengguo. In the early days of the founding of the country, the Xiahou family was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, but later it was replaced by the Zhao family of Jiangnan. Moreover, the Duke of Chengguo was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the saints ascended the throne until the saints ascended the throne."
Qin Xiao seemed to understand and said, "So the Zhao family and Xiahou family have long formed a feud?"
"Xiahou is an old minister of the empire. The Zhao family became much later than the Xiahou family, but later came to the forefront, overshadowing the Xiahou family." Lin Hong said slowly: "More than half of the empire's taxes came from Jiangnan. Duke Cheng has always taken great care of the children of the Jiangnan family, so the Jiangnan family also strongly supports Duke Cheng. With Jiangnan's strong financial support, the Chenggong family's status in the court is naturally very stable, and there will inevitably be times of arrogance. The Zhao family has ended the imperial financial power from the Xiahou family, which has already made the Xiahou family hate it. The Zhao family represents the interests of the Jiangnan family. Behind the Xiahou family is the Yizhou group, and there will inevitably be fighting in the court. Therefore, after the saints ascended the throne, the Xiahou family has gained power, and it is natural that the Chenggong family will be in trouble."
"The entire family of Duke Cheng was executed, and the Jiangnan family and the Zhao family have always shared honors and disgrace. Lord Qin, do you think the Xiahou family will let the Jiangnan family go?" Lin Hong sneered: "The saints are very enlightened today and put the country first. Although they have eliminated Duke Cheng, she knows that Jiangnan's wealth is important to the empire. If the princesses are to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan family will have to rely on the princess. But everyone knows that if His Highness the princess inherits the throne in the future, the Jiangnan family still has a way out, if the saint leaves, the Xiahou family will control the government affairs, and even...even if the saint chooses heirs from the Xiahou family, then the Jiangnan family led by the seven surnames of Jiangnan will have only one way to die."
Qin Xiao is actually clear about the key points and doesn't say much.
"The Jiangnan family has always hoped to do their best to support the princess to become the crown prince." Lin Hong smiled bitterly: "How can we guess the saint's thoughts? If we put all our hopes on the saint's enthronement of the princess as the crown prince, life and death will not be controlled by ourselves. The Qian family will have a connection with the Queen Mother, and we have indeed known it for a long time. Moreover, the Qian family wanted to use the Queen Mother to initiate an uprising in Jiangnan from the beginning. This point, including our Lin family, does not agree. We can oppose Xiahou, but we will never oppose Tang. So we promised the Qian family that if they could let the princess come to Jiangnan and get the princess' consent, the Jiangnan family would fully support the princess to seize the throne."
"It seems that Hou Anxing defeated the three major families in Hangzhou into rebellion." Qin Xiao said lightly.
Lin Hong smiled and said, "For personal gain, we must protect our family and control our own life and death. For the public, we are loyal to the princess and Li Tang, so we never think we are rebellious. If the princess starts, we will support it with all our might, but Suzhou's plan is not going smoothly. Without the princess, we cannot act rashly. Since the plan is not close, the Lin family has nothing to say to the current situation."
Qin Xiao stared at Lin Hong's eyes and said, "Have you explained all these words to An Xinghou?"
Lin Hong shook his head, raised his hand, and shook the inner ticket in his hand: "Even this inner ticket, An Xinghou knew nothing."
"If you don't tell An Xinghou about these things, but you tell me, why?" Qin Xiao said: "If I were an official sent by the court to try you, what you said just now would have been a confession."
Lin Hong looked calm and said, "Fifty percent of the profit can make the businessman do his best. If there is a double or even several times the profit, any businessman will take the risk of betting on life and death. The villain is now gambled, betting on the Lin family's life and death on the adults, so he must show sincerity to the adults. If he still has to betray the adults at this time, the Lin family will have no way to survive." Looking at Qin Xiao's eyes, he said calmly: "The villain hopes that he has not bet wrong this time."
